My wife and I have stayed in approximately 100 properties during our travels around the world. This property was one of the best properties that we have stayed at. We enjoyed our seven weeks stay at this property and would rate it a 10 if we could. A good overall summary is:Excellent Host - The host was just outstanding. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Excellent Property - This property is newly remodeled with very high-end taste. Very comfortable, cozy and nicely decorated. Kitchen has everything needed with new appliances. Excellent Location - This property is located in a quiet older neighborhood. It is close to "everything." Restaurants, HEB grocery store, church, golf courses, are all very close by. Highly recommend this property.

House was very comfortable. Could have used more dishtowels. Kitchen cabinets VERY high. A small step stool would help. Neighborhood not upscale but was OK.

Excellent House & Stay

I wish I could give 10 stars. The house was excellent and just what we needed in Kerrville for my son's wedding. The bedrooms were perfect and the master suite was just beautiful! The house was so comfortable and well-stocked! This kitchen had everything we would/could have needed. I had to decorate 125 cupcakes and had ample room to do so. The neighborhood was very quiet and pleasant. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Our hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. Thank you so much!

Thanksgiving

My family used the house to host more family for the holiday. The house had plenty of space and was very clean. The only things that stood out for us is the walkway to the front door was not great for older guests so we all ended up walking in the mulch. Also two of the bathrooms are ensuite the third is not but the third bathroom is in the hallway. We would definitely book again.

Holiday getaway

Nicely renovated 3 bedroom 3 bath home. Unfortunately Kuereg offered but no coffee or tea products. We enjoyed watching movies from bed in the evening and the deer sightings were very enjoyable. Such a great house but would be better following a much needed dusting.

Great place for our Girls Trip 2024

We had our girls trip to the area and stayed at the Cottage for four days. It was so clean and comfortable, and we found some little homey touches that we were't expecting. The best surprise was that the listing said that the bedrooms had a King, Queen, and Twin bed. They actually had a King and two Queen beds, so nobody had to cram into a twin. The instructions for check in and out were sent to me ahead of time as well as left out in the house for us to follow easily. The neighborhood was quet and peaceful, but it got a little tricky during school release hours, as there is a school close by and the traffic pattern and speed changes. We were conveniently located within a half hour of all of the places we wanted to see (Bandera, Fredericksburg, San Marcos), and we even found a little pub down the street with friendly people to meet and enjoy the nightlife with . Overall, we all made plans to come back again, and maybe even bring our hubbies.....

Great get away!

My 2 daughters and I stayed here for a girls’ weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! We LOVED the fact that we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The convenience of Fredericksburg only being a quick 20 min drive was also wonderful! House was clean and comfortable, and we felt safe during our stay! Would 10/10 stay here again!!!

A Comfortable House

I was quite pleased with how comfortable this house was. It is very roomy, especially the main bedroom even with the king size bed, a large dresser of drawers with a big screen tv, a closet, and two sitting chairs in it! There are two other rooms where one can sit and read (the living room which has a big screen tv and a separate room). The two back bedrooms each have their own bathrooms. The backyard is quite private. The neighborhood was very quiet. If you enjoy walking, this is a nice neighborhood to walk. One mile down the road is the Trailhead Beer Garden (a must visit) and the trailhead for the river trail. Lots of deer in the neighborhood, too! There were supposed to be three of us staying there for the Texas Woodcarvers Guild week but I was the only one able to make it. Next year we’ll all be there at this house.

Wonderful host

My husband and I reserved the Pickled Pepper Cottage for us and friends to stay in Kerrville for the 2024 total solar eclipse. We very much appreciated that the host, Niki, was charging regular rates for the house during the eclipse time when almost every other place to stay had raised rates to exorbitant levels. That alone is reason enough to recommend a stay here in my opinion. It says a lot about the fair and welcoming service Niki provides to her guests. However, due to the cloudy weather that unfortunately engulfed the Kerrville area for eclipse day, we decided to cancel last minute and drive to clearer skies in Arkansas. We knew we would not get any refund since the cancellation and refund policies were clearly laid out when we booked - which I appreciated knowing in advance. What I didn't expect was Niki's gracious replies to our cancellation and offer of a discount should we decide to book again in the future. She even offered to keep our reservation open in case we wanted to use any of our booked days after the eclipse. I was floored by the kindness. We weren't able to make it for our stay, but I highly recommend booking with Niki for the friendly and thoughtful service alone. Thanks so much Niki!

About the host

Hosted by Niki Parks

Host profile image
Homes have always been a "love" of mine, since middle-school :), looking at black/white photos of homes, circling the homes I wanted to buy, nationwide. My Mom would ask "what are you going to do with all of those houses?" Little did we know I would have the opportunity and the blessing to follow one of my dreams. Growing up very poor, in a large family, it never occurred to me that I was just "dreamin".

I/we enjoy looking, finding, purchasing and decorating each unique home. We have been welcoming guests (national & international) to our homes since 2013 in Colorado and Texas. It is my favorite "hobby" :)

I currently work full-time in the Healthcare Industry and prior to changing careers, I started up, owned/managed my company for many years, specializing in providing "Ambassadors" (staff) for conventions, tradeshows & special events, nationwide.

I look forward to welcoming guests to our newest addition "Pickled Pepper Cottage" and hope you will enjoy your stay in our home , your time in beautiful Hill Country of Texas and will jump at the chance to follow your "dreams".

Welcome :)
Niki

Why they chose this property

Close to downtown, river, golf course; 1960s remodeled home (one of my fav home eras), smaller with character, street appeal, with a little "spiffing" up projects planned. David and I enjoy working on the homes as well as decorating, thus we have "projects" planned for Pickled Pepper Cottage.

What makes this property unique

Located in beautiful Hill Country, Kerrville has many amenities to offer guests and close to unique areas, towns, activities which guests can enjoy. Wineries, excellent restaurants, music (nightly - somewhere close by), dancing, rivers, lakes, fishing, boating, hunting, biking, hiking, shopping, ranches, hour drive to San Antonio and 1.5 hours to Austin. Many beautiful places in between.

Come enjoy the hospitality of Texas and Texans - Take home a Texas "Star" to remind you of Texas and to follow your "Star" .
